Brittany Robertson, star of the recently cancelled CW show “The Secret Circle,” is set to star in director Tim McCann’s White Rabbit, a trippy drama about a bullied high school teen tormented to the breaking point by visions of the bunny he killed as a boy.
Robertson joins a cast that includes “True Blood’s” Sam Trammell and The Descendants star Nick Krause. The 22-year-old will play Krause’s girlfriend. Production on the film is slated to begin later this month in New Orleans.
Robertson is coming off the disappointing Wes Craven sequel Scream 4 and Kevin Williamson’s “The Secret Circle,” in which she played orphaned witch Cassie Blake. Her only other horror cred is 2009’s supernatural teen thriller From Within.
Despite hitting a truck bump on the road recently, actress-turned-tabloid queen Lindsay Lohan is still on the comeback trail. The Mean Girls star is said to be in talks to join Ashley Tisdale in Dimension Films’ Scary Movie 5, set to release in theaters April 19, 2013.
Malcolm Lee (Undercover Brother) is attached to direct the horror-comedy from a script co-written by producer David Zucker (Airplane). Unlike previous entries in the series, which poked fun at a variety of horror movies, part five will only spoof Darren Aronofsky’s Oscar-nominated film Black Swan.
Lohan made her horror film debut in the 2007 serial-killer drama I Know Who Killed Me. She played stigmatic twins with very large breasts. In 2010, she starred in Robert Rodriguez’s grindhouse actioner Machete. She portrayed a junkie socialite with very large breasts.
In addition to Scary Movie 5, Lohan’s latest projects include the Lifetime biopic “Liz and Dick,” in which she plays the iconic Elizabeth Taylor and the Bret Easton Ellis-penned kink drama The Canyons, costarring porn star James Deen.
Sony has kicked off a viral marketing campaign to get peeps excited about its upcoming remake of Paul Verhoeven’s 1987 sci-fi classic Robocop, about a veteran police officer brutally gang-murdered by street thugs and brought back to life by the OmniCorp corporation as a cyborg crime fighter.
OmniCorp.com provides visitors with an early glimpse at some of the other high-tech security machines the company has designed to keep people safe from criminals and terrorists, including the XT-908 Aerial Vehicle, the not-so-reliable ED-209 and, of course, the RC-2000 (Robocop, beyotches!).
The Robocop remake is directed by Jose Padilha and stars Joel Kinnaman as Robocop Alex Murphy, Abbie Cornish as his wife, Gary Oldman as his creator, Sam Jackson as a media mogul and Hugh Laurie as OmniCorp’s CEO. The film is slated for release Aug. 9, 2013.
Model and Cosplay enthusiast Adrianne Curry posted on her Twitter account photos of the sexy Aeon Flux outfit that got her booted from last year’s Comic-Con convention in San Diego. Apparently, baring hot-girl butt cheeks is illegal, but flashing hairy beer bellies from underneath a tight “Doctor Who” shirt is totally OK.
Personally, I think Curry’s costume is what Charlize Theron should have worn in 2005’s Aeon Flux movie. That would have better explained the character’s origins… to my penis.
Curry first came to fame as the season one winner of the reality-competition show “America’s Next Top Model.” She later starred in the VH1 reality series “The Surreal Life” and “My Fair Brady,” which followed her then-marriage to “Brady Bunch” star Christopher Knight.
Sucker Punch starlet Jamie Chung has been cast in the recurring role of Chinese warrior Mulan on season two of ABC’s hit fairy tale series “Once Upon a Time.” The character is described as emotionally guarded, but loyal, and skilled in weaponry, tracking and riding.
Chung is best known to genre fans for her sexy turn as doomed dancer Amber in Zack Snyder’s fantasy-actioner Sucker Punch. She’s also starred in the 2009 remake Sorority Row, Dragonball Evolution (based on the Japanese Dragon Ball magna), and the indie-anthology Burning Palms.
The 29-year-old stunner will next be seen as a rookie flight attendant in Takashi Shimizu’s (The Grudge) airline frightener 7500 and as an abducted Korean-American girl sold into prostitution in Megan Griffiths’ (The Off Hours) human trafficking drama Eden.
“Once Upon a Time” followed Emma Swan (Jennifer Morrison), daughter of Snow White (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Prince Charming (Josh Dallas), as she rid the small New England town of Storybrooke from an Evil Queen’s (Lana Parilla) curse. The show returns this Fall.
Spanish stunner Claudia Bassols, last seen on the short-lived Rob Schneider sitcom “Rob,” is starring in Todor Chapkanov’s new vampire frightener “True Bloodthirst,” set to premiere July 14 on Syfy. The flick is the second collaboration between Bassols and Chapkanov, who worked together on Vampyre Nation.
“True Bloodthirst” is set in the future where vampires live harmoniously with humans thanks to a blood substitute they drink to survive. Things get complicated when two vampires fall in love with Sookie Stackhouse, a waitress with magical… oh, wait. This is something totally different and original.
Hey, if Bassols is in it, I’ll glamour myself into believing I’ve never seen HBO’s “True Blood.”
Resident Evil: Retribution is directed by Paul W.S. Anderson and serves as the fifth installment in the hit global franchise that is based on the best selling Capcom video games. Additional costars include Sienna Guillory as Jill Valentine, Oded Fehr as Carlos Oliviera and Johann Urb as Leon S. Kennedy.
“Mi Vida Con Toty,” an entertainment program on Latin YouTube Channel Nuevon, has scored the first look at “Modern Family” star Sofia Vergara as leather-clad femme fatal Madam Desdemona in Robert Rodriguez’s Machete Kills, a sequel to the director’s 2010 grind-house actioner Machete.
“Mi Vida Con Toty” is hosted by Vergara’s 20-year-old-son, Manolo Gonzalez Vergara, and documents his life with the famous Columbian sexpot. Some may frown on Manolo cashing in on his mom’s fame, but those secret therapy sessions where he argues that Oedipus Rex got a bum deal must be getting costly by now.
In any case, Manolo visited Rodriguez’s Troublemaker Studios and caught some behind-the-scenes footage of his busty mom in action. In the two-minute-plus clip, Vergara is seen running a group of hot hookers, shooting a gun at Danny Trejo and reciting some sexy dialogue.
Entertainment One has released a new trailer for Finnish director Timo Vuorensola’s Iron Sky, a sci-fi actioner that finds a Nazi army living on the moon for 70 years, waiting for the perfect moment to invade earth and finally achieve global domination.
The film’s synopsis reads:
In the last moments of World War II, a secret Nazi space program evaded destruction by fleeing to the Dark Side of the Moon. During 70 years of utter secrecy, the Nazis construct a gigantic space fortress with a massive armada of flying saucers…and now they’re coming back to claim Earth for their own.
The film stars German newcomer Julia Dietze (pictured) as Renate Richter, a Nazi officer-turned-earth sympathizer out to thwart the invasion. The project is a collaboration between Finland studios Blind Spot Pictures and Energia Productions and Australia’s 27 Films and New Holland Pictures. A North American release date has yet to be announced.
“LOST” alumna Elizabeth Mitchell, last seen on NBC’s short-lived “V” reboot, returns to sci-fi drama this fall as a regular on Jon Favreau and J.J. Abrams’ new series “Revolution.” Set to premiere Sept. 17 on NBC, the show imagines a world gone unexpectedly Amish.
Peep the synopsis:
Our entire way of life depends on electricity. So what would happen if it just stopped working? Well, one day, like a switch turned off, the world is suddenly thrust back into the dark ages.
Planes fall from the sky, hospitals shut down, and communication is impossible. And without any modern technology, who can tell us why? Now, 15 years later, life is back to what it once was long before the industrial revolution: families living in quiet cul-de-sacs, and when the sun goes down lanterns and candles are lit.
Life is slower and sweeter. Or is it? On the fringes of small farming communities, danger lurks. And a young woman’s life is dramatically changed when a local militia arrives and kills her father, who mysteriously – and unbeknownst to her – had something to do with the blackout.
This brutal encounter sets her and two unlikely companions off on a daring coming-of-age journey to find answers about the past in the hopes of reclaiming the future.
Mitchell plays a quilt maker with a mysterious past and a light beard. OK, just joshing. According to TVLine.com, she plays a MILF named Rachel Matheson. She joins a cast that includes Billy Burke (Drive Angry) as Rachel’s brother-in-law and leader of a small group of survivors, Giancarlo Esposito (“Breaking Bad”) as a sadistic militia commander and Daniella Alonso (Hills Have Eyes 2) as a rebel fighter.
